SO he chose a program that doesn't run a pro-style offense? Smart kid. He'll do well in classes at Tech.

Sure no problem. First, let's evict the Hall of Famers from the 60s through the 80s who took speed before every game, as well as those who pumped up on painkillers they obtained without a prescription. There is zero difference, Frank. So put that holier than thou junk away, okay?

Oh come on, McNabb. There isn't one person within 100 miles of Washington, D.C. who is interested in giving one penny for your thoughts. Worst. Trade. Ever. And you confirmed it by how well you performed in Minnesota.

Please. No more texts to RGIII, or we're going to make him change his number.

Not gonna happen. Not in our lifetime. Zero rings. Zero MVPs. Zero records. Zero chance of making it to the Hall of Fame.

You sure his hammy didn't FLARE up again? We're so screwed when people who write headlines for major publishers are careless (if not clueless) about spelling and grammar. If you rely on autocorrect, you're never going to be anything more than a hack.

Yet another kid whose ego is bigger than his talent. When Sims came to Virginia, we were excited - figured he had to be good for Bama to recruit him. Uh...not so much. He couldn't take the starting job from a reliable if unspectacular Rocco, and after Rocco left he still couldn't win the job. But mostly, he probably figured Virginia would be like Bama, with a "wink wink" toward things like attending class and passing tests and working toward a degree.

Seriously? The guy who held steadfast against a playoff and totally, unapologetic-ally in favor of the BCS for so long is no in charge of the playoff? Of course he wants to limit it to 4 teams - and he'd prefer at least two from the SEC, if not three. Yep - 3 from the SEC and Notre Dame. Perfect!

This guy is an ****. Whoever put him in charge was either paid off by the networks or is just plain old stupid.

Seriously? This is like Congress appointing Wayne LaPierre to manage and promote gun control legislation.

Probably a good idea, since they can't sell tickets based on having a winning team and the crappiest stadium in pro sports!

The writer of the column didn't do his research. It seems that he is relying on Manuel's high completion rate to declare his accuracy as "good." In fact, his accuracy sucks! He had a ton of dump passes to backs in the FSU offense that ran the rate up. What's worse, he had some above average receivers who caught everything thrown their way - and since he had a habit of not putting the ball where they needed it they had problems gaining yardage after the catch. One scout declared that he has "area code accuracy," which is about the worst possible accuracy rating ( I suppose there's "continental accuracy," which would be even worse).

Quick: name the last FSU quarterback who made it in the NFL.

Buffalo really reached here - I guess that's what you get when you hire a college coach who wasn't even that great (25-25 at Syracuse - and he just got an NFL job? Seriously?). It's amazing that the Bills gave that much draft power to an unproven quantity such as a first year NFL coach - that's quite a leap of faith. His opinion on Manuel, which is vastly different from every report out there, most of which had Manual as the 6th best QB this year.

Of course, this is the franchise that felt Chan Gailey still knew how to coach in the NFL. Enjoy your extended playoff drought, Buffalo!

Wow - it's even worse than I thought!

US News Rankings of Colleges: Virginia 24, FSU 97

Forbes Rankings of Colleges: Virginia 47, FSU... wait for it... 274!

Perhaps, but there's always that whole "education" thing.

The people who attend playoff games typically live in the host city, and it's a "local" event.

The Super Bowl isn't remotely local. Most of the people who attend are from out of town. If last week's mega storm hit New York during Super Bowl weekend, it would be a disaster on all fronts. It would be hard to get people to the stadium, it would be hard to clear snow from the seating bowl, and it would be an all around poor experience for most attendees who had paid a boatload of cash just to get a ticket.

No question football is played in all kinds of weather, but for almost 50 years the Super Bowl has been played in ideal weather. It's rained exactly one time. That's what people want. It's also why no meaningful college bowl games are played in the north.

As if there were any doubt that having a Super Bowl in an outdoor stadium in the north was a bad idea.

Well, there's Eli, Aaron Rodgers, to name two. I don't think any FM in the NFL would take Flacco over Rodgers.

It's becoming clear that Loria is the worst owner of a pro team in the USA. He totally ripped off the Dade County taxpayers, he micromanages an entity in which he has no expertise and little experience or knowledge, and now we learn that he plays the blame game as well.

If I were Dade County, I'd try to seize the team via eminent domain.

Chris Petersen has had plenty of opportunities to move to a big-time program. He won't. He's comfortable knowing that he'll win 10 a year, and is willing to roll the dice on winning the one or two games each season BSU plays against actual competition. The LAST thing he wants is to play a major conference schedule (and please, the Big East doesn't provide that).

At least now we know that the dysfunction of the New York Jets starts at the top. When the owner doesn't put team first, why should anybody else?

Under Armour's founder is the hugest Maryland booster. How in the name of God is this NOT a recruiting violation?

Seriously - does the NCAA have its head so far up its ass that it overlooks something as blatant as this?

Swinney and his brother are shameless. Playing the celebrity card in front of the Bi-Lo? Please!

He'd better get used to it, because he's going to hear it for the rest of his career, and again when he's not voted into the Hall of Fame. He cheated - got it reversed on a technicality, but never denied the positive results of the test.

I only hope the team isn't booed when they take the field on the road. None of these players or coaches had any culpability in the horrors that took place under Paterno.
